Episode 12.

"Catch! Nebula Chain of friendship"

Ikki and Hyoga face each other in battle. Cygnus launches an "Aurora Thunder Attack" againstIkki, only to have it reversed and strike its sender. Shocked, and with his confidence shaken,Hyoga gets up and tries again. This time Ikki launches his "Phoenix Illusion Demon's Fist"attack, and Cygnus Hyoga sees his mother's body decaying in front of his eyes, skin and flesh
rotting away... Somehow, Hyoga shakes off the nightmare and counterattacks viciously. When he's finished, there's the Phoenix Cloth, but no Ikki, he teleported out of the way! Ikki punches Hyoga in the chest, making a hole in the Cygnus Cloth. Hyoga grabs Ikki's wrist and tries to freeze it, but collapses before he can succeed. Ikki leaves him for dead. With a smile, he picks
up the Gold Cloth pieces and goes on. Elsewhere, Shun hears Seiya's bell as Seiya tries to climb back up the mountainside, and further down the valley Kiki hears someone coming.Clearing away the fog, he is overjoyed to see Shiryu. Mu, Shiryu tells him, was able to save his life. Kiki gives him the bell, and Shiryu goes into battle with it. Shun discovers Seiya's discarded
armor and soon finds Seiya. He lassoes Seiya with his chains, but is attacked by Black Andromeda. Refusing to let Seiya go, he is rapidly loosing the battle when Seiya himself breaks the chain and falls back down the steep incline. We also get our first real demonstration of the telepathy shared between these Bronze Saints as Seiya "talks" to Shun and tells him the rescue of the Gold Cloth is more important than his life. Incensed, Shun attacks and kills his doppleganger. But Black Dragon is on the scene, and has been watching the battle with some amusement. Now he prepares to attack. Shiryu intervenes and tells Shun to go save Seiya while he takes care of the Black Dragon. Andromeda wraps one end of his chain around a convenient out-cropping and drops toward Seiya as Shiryu and Black Dragon begin their battle.
